Africa-Press – Namibia. <\/strong><\/span>The revised version of the book \u201cLu\u0308deritz: A Journey Through Time\u201d, was recently launched by fisheries minister Derek Klazen.<\/p>\n

The book, which was first published in September 2017, takes the readers to the town\u2019s heritage and architecture, over the years. Additionally, it depicts a futuristic view, and focuses on the Lu\u0308deritz of tomorrow.<\/p>\n

The limited revised edition will be followed by the expanded second editio, which will incorporate the ever-increasing developments taking place in Lu\u0308deritz.<\/p>\n

Klazen said it is important to capture the varied facets of Lu\u0308deritz through time.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy sponsoring this well-illustrated publication, NovaNam will help readers, present and future, to understand Lu\u0308deritz from its humble beginnings, throughout its \u2013 at times \u2013 disturbing history, its present realities, and the wonderful opportunities this remarkable town has offered and continues to offer,\u2019\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n

Klazen added: \u201cNovaNam itself, I am told, is and will remain an intrinsic part of this town\u2019s history, economic and social endeavours \u2013 the first vertically integrated fishing business investment in Lu\u0308deritz, right at the time of Namibia\u2019s independence in 1990, when this town was the only Namibian seaport because Walvis Bay remained under apartheid colonial rule until 1994.\u201d<\/p>\n

The minister acknowledged that the founders of NovaNam took a big risk many years ago, by investing in the harbour town. He said they saw potential despite the town having been marginalised at the time.<\/p>\n

Klazen expressed delight that the book highlights the economic activities in the town.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnother aspect of this book that I am pleased about, and in which the ministry is also intimately involved in partnership with other government agencies, is the Lu\u0308deritz Waterfront. This ambitious project as witnessed earlier with the opening of the Namibia Maritime Museum showcases all that is good about Namibia as an investment, education, and tourist destination,\u2019\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n

During the launch, Dr Angel Tordesillas, chairperson of the Lu\u0308deritz Waterfront Development Company, highlighted the transformative potential of the new museum, saying: \u201cThe museum\u2019s main objective, besides attracting tourists to Lu\u0308deritz, will be to inspire people of all ages and backgrounds to understand and appreciate the Atlantic coast\u2019s rich maritime heritage through exhibits, programmes, and activities.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said the company plans to create a vibrant cultural hub that celebrates the unique history and diversity of the Atlantic coast.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe museum will serve as a gateway for visitors to explore the area\u2019s nautical past, offering a carefully curated selection of artifacts, interactive displays, and engaging educational initiatives,\u2019\u2019 he noted.<\/p>\n

Tordesillas further said the exhibits will highlight significant events, such as the maritime trade routes that shaped the region\u2019s economy, influential shipwrecks, and the vibrant communities that blossomed along the coast.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, special programmes will cater to schools, families, and residents, fostering a sense of pride in the coastal heritage and encouraging active participation in the preservation of these stories.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith the support of local businesses and stakeholders, the museum stands as a testament to the community\u2019s commitment to cultural enrichment and sustainable tourism, positioning Lu\u0308deritz as a premier destination for those seeking to immerse themselves in the maritime history of the Atlantic,\u2019\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n
